Install AWS SSL Certificate to home server

I have a domain name bought from AWS, and can get SSl certificate from AWS ACM. I could install the certificates to Load Balancer for EC2. Now I am hosting a server at home, either a NodeJS app or Python Flask app. How can I get the website to use https protocol?

Yes, you can, but not from AWS ACM. The SSL certificates from ACM can only be used on:

  • Elastic Load Balancing
  • Amazon CloudFront
  • Amazon API Gateway

For home server, you have to get a SSL certificate from a third party. A popular choice is https://letsencrypt.org/ which offers free public SSL certificates. But to register an SSL cert, you will need a DNS domain for your home server.
